Macy Lee

Ruby Anne

January 13 was a very exciting day for our family!!! Two of Joel's sisters went into labor and delivered 12 hours apart!!!! These precious girls share a birthday and have a forever bond. From our perspective, it was a whirlwind of emotions and one of the most adrenaline filled 24 hours we have had in a very very (if ever) long time. To serve a God who orchestrated such perfect timing is beyond what I can even fathom. Amazing day. 

I was honored to be asked to be in the delivery room for Ruby, however, somehow I missed 2 phone calls and 2 texts letting me know it was time to be there (it was the middle of the night). I was more than bummed and so frustrated that technology failed during such a crucial time. But I trust that there was a reason for my absence and am thankful Ruby arrived healthy and it was a smooth delivery. While at the hospital visiting sweet Ruby, Joel's little sister called to say she was in fact in labor and was being admitted. WHAT!?!?!??!? Yep, that's right, they were gonna deliver that day!! She knew I was pretty bummed for missing Ruby's delivery and invited me to be in for Macy's birth....what.an.honor. I barely made it in time and Macy arrived after only 2 contractions.....amazing, breath-taking, never-will-forget-the-rest-of-my-life moment. God is so good and amazing and perfect and to see His creation from the moment she enters our world makes me even more in awe of His goodness and mercy and power. 

What a day, what a day - and now we get to love on and nurture and spoil these two precious lives.
